Marfan syndrome is a heritable disorder of connective tissue leading to aortic aneurysms and other cardiovascular complications associated with reduced life expectancy. Although contemporary management of ascending aortic disease requires open surgical reconstruction, the combined retrograde visceral revascularization and endovascular exclusion (hybrid procedure) of entire thoracoabdominal aorta has been introduced for the management of descending thoracic and abdominal aortic pathology. The present experience reports 2 cases of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, in Marfan patients, previously submitted to major cardiovascular surgical procedures, through a hybrid approach.

Endovascular versus Open Repair for Asymptomatic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A 12-year Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become increasingly prevalent for treating asymptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). This study compares the early and late outcomes between EVAR and open aneurysm repair (OAR) in asymptomatic AAA patients.
Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted involving 564 patients (445 EVAR, 119 OAR) who underwent AAA repair from January 2010 to June 2022.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Public Health Crisis on the Surgical Management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Rupture.

Section of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, MI; Jobst Vascular Institute, Toledo, OH.
Objectives: The COVID-19 epidemic introduced significant systems- and disease-based uncertainty into Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture management. The goal of this work was to evaluate whether short-term AAA rupture outcomes during COVID-19 were comparable to pre-COVID era outcomes and to explore the impact of COVID status and COVID era healthcare systems restrictions on AAA rupture outcomes.
Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database was queried for all ruptured AAAs that underwent intervention from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022.
Long-term outcomes of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass vs second generation drug eluting stent for management of isolated left anterior descending artery disease.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in a propensity matched population receiving either minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) or percutaneous coronary intervention using second generation everolismus-eluting stents (DES-PCI) in patients treated for isolated proximal LAD stenosis.
Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2017, 421 patients with a nonemergency status undergoing primary isolated proximal LAD revascularization were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: 111 patients receiving MIDCAB LITA to LAD and 310 patients receiving DES-PCI. Propensity score matching selected 111 pairs and both groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics and well balanced.
Are current follow-up intervals justified in patients with non-emergent aortic surgeries?

Objectives: Evidence for different surveillance protocols following aortic treatment is still lacking. Aim of this study was to analyze the clinical relevance of a first follow-up visit after 6 months.
Methods: Between 01/2018 and 12/2019, 464 patients treated for non-emergent aortic pathologies were retrospectively analysed.
Aneurysm Is Restricted by CD34 Cell-Formed Fibrous Collars Through the PDGFRb-PI3K Axis.

Aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening disease caused by progressive dilation of the aorta and weakened aortic walls. Its pathogenesis involves an imbalance between connective tissue repair and degradation. CD34 cells comprise a heterogeneous population that exhibits stem cell and progenitor cell properties.
